Could I say 'with you respected audiences'? #1 (permalink) Wed May 06, 2009 16:33 pm   Could I say 'with you respected audiences'?
 

Hi,

As an example, I would like to share my personal experience with you respected audiences.

Is that okay? Or what would native speakers for this sentence?

Thanks a lot.

Maggie^^

Hi Maggie,

To me, the phrase 'respected audience' sounds a bit superficial, at least in English, to a native speaker. However, grammatically, there is nothing wrong with it.

I would probably just say "As an example, I would like to share my personal experience(s) with you, the audience."

I'm hoping some other native speakers will chime in here with their opinions on this one, though.

I agree with you, at last, Skrej,

Maggie, I know this is an important venue for you, but you are coming over as far too
subservient . Your speech is good enough to get you through.

Yes. Thanks for you two. I'll avoid to say that.

Ha.

" I'll avoid saying that " or " I won't bother to say that."

Yes. Thanks for your correction.

Finally, I finished my speech. I found out I needed to improve my pronunciation indeed. In the contest, the people who got ranks, their pronunciation are very good although most of them have been to western countries to work, something like that as far as I know.

Actually, I haven't thought about the rank so much especially for an English contest speech. I joined it because I wanted to overcome stage fright and I wanted to be more confident on the stage publicly. I also think it's very important to show the best point of myself about English on the stage. So I want to confirm the things that I was not sure. Please don't think I just want to get the number one in that contest. I think it's not so important for me at least, and the most important thing is wheather I learned something new from this contest.


Speak to you soon.

Maggie^^
